Totnes Raft Race

Sunday 4th October 2020

The Totnes Raft Race, known as ‘The River Dart Struggle ‘ will be held on Sunday, 4th October 2020. It takes place along the river Dart starting at Dart Bridge,
Buckfastleigh, and on through a mixture of white water, fast flowing weirs and calm stretches, and makes its way down to the finish in Totnes, a distance of some 13 Kilometres. This is acknowledged as one of the great river challenges and
2017 saw 51 rafts entered. This is an ideal corporate or group team building exercise,
but with a difference, each team must make their own raft out of a restricted list of approved materials. Crews between 2 to 10 people per raft, all male, all female or mixed, over the age of 18, can take part in an exciting struggle to the finish.

Fastest male or mixed crew with 2,4,6,8, or 10 people
Fastest female crew with 2,4,6,8, or 10 people
Best fancy dress crew in each class
Crew which raises the most sponsorship and crew which raises the most sponsorship for Totnes Rotary Charities

Each participant is required to raise a minimum of £40 in sponsorship. This must be paid to Totnes Rotary Club (see ‘how to enter’ ) before the start of the event. If for any reason the event is cancelled £30 will be returned, the remaining £10 being used to cover organising costs.

You are encouraged to raise additional sponsorship for charities supported by The Rotary Club of Totnes or your own preferred charity.
